One of our clients lost his passport and O-1 visa a few months ago. The O-1 visa is reserved for aliens with an extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, business, athletics, education, motion picture and television. He originally obtained the O-1 based on his musical abilities and his work with well-known rock bands in Orange County. When he lost his passport and visa, he became unable to enter the US. We had him file a police report and apply for a new passport. Once he had the passport, we schedule him for a consular interview in Sydney, Australia. He provided all the evidence we originally filed for the O-1 along with an updated itinerary and proof that he was still touring with his band in the US. Everything went smoothly with the consular processing and he was issued the visa. He should be landing in the US within the next couple days.

If you are considering the O-1 visa process, contact Nelson & Nuñez to schedule a consultation. Nelson & Nuñez will personally meet with you and help you better understand the standard of proof for the O-1 visa and whether your case is viable and worth pursuing.
